CDL Switch in LX-450

[barrypt5]

I was searching around to see where people located the CDL switch in the LX and found that a few people relocated some switches on the top row of the dash and others took a switch out completely...just wanted people to chime in and say where they put their switch...thanks

......put it where the alarm used to be.

I repositioned the switches so that it made sense to me (and not Mr Toyota)

Rear defroster - on top of the defroster button in the climate control
Antenna switch - on top of the radio
Alarm microphone - highest center location so that the LED and microphone would have good view and reception
CDL - away from the passengers. I would location the CDL to the left hand side switch panel to be near the other diff lock switch.
Last blank on the bottom right - dual battery selector. (not installed yet).

I moved the antenna switch to the bottom row. I had to seperate the cable harness a bit, but after looking at it as part of step 6, seemed the bset to me.

Did the same thing in Sarah's truck

so Romer did you just cut the wires lengthen them and solder them back together?

97 FZJ80...i like how you repositioned the switched....i always thought it a bit awkward...and it still bugs me the hazard light is not illuminated

thanks to all

top row,

alarm, CDl, Haz, rear defrost

bottom row

blank, rear heat, antenna switch

not the most ergonomic arrangement but did not disturb any of the harnesses and it works.

it still bugs me the hazard light is not illuminated

have you checked the bulb?

I did the same as Romer did by moving the antennae switch. You need to peel the bundle of wires and simply route them so they won't be overstretched. No cutting required.

I just yanked my antenna switch, I never used it.

on a 96 you need it if you ever disconnect your battery, it will only come up about 2" afterwards

No wire cutting required. There are several harness bundles taped together, I just peeled the tape to seperate them. See if you have room, have the wire extended and you will see where to free it up.

Had same issue with Hazard light, order a bulb and it will illuminate
